Lost  and  found  articles  should  be  re¬ 
ported  at  Parlor  “F,”  mezzanine  floor  (next 
to  the  Fountain  Room). 


Delegate’s  Handbook 

The  Handbook  contains  only  the  most 
important  information  regarding  the  Con¬ 
vention.  It  is  assumed  that  every  line  of  it 
will  be  read  by  each  delegate.  This  should 
be  done  if  possible  before  the  Thursday 
morning  session. 

Information  Bureau 

This  Bureau  will  be  found  on  the  left 
side  of  the  center  lobby  and  is  equipped  to 
dispense  information  pertaining  to  the  Con¬ 
vention  and  to  the  city  of  Detroit.  Maps 
and  timetables  may  be  consulted  there.  Re¬ 
sponsibility  for  the  Bureau  has  been  as¬ 
sumed  by  the  Detroit  Student  Volunteer 
Group,  under  the  leadership  of  Miss  Julia 
Garst,  a  service  which  is  deeply  appreciated. 

S.  V.  M.  Secretaries 

Members  of  the  Headquarters  and  Trav¬ 
eling  Staffs  of  the  Movement  may  be  con¬ 
sulted  regarding  personal  problems,  mis¬ 
sionary  activities  on  the  campus,  or  other

from  6:00  to  7:30  in  the  evening. 

Mission  Board  Headquarters 

Mission  Board  Secretaries  will  be  found 
in  the  large  room  next  to  the  Exhibit 
Booths,  basement  floor,  instead  of  in  the 
loges  in  the  auditorium,  as  suggested  on 
page  15  of  the  Handbook.  The  Convention 
provides  a  rare  opportunity,  which  delegates 
will  not  want  to  miss,  to  confer  with  the 
Secretaries  of  their  own  Boards.

Library  Exhibit 

A  small,  carefully  selected  reference  li¬ 
brary  of  some  three  hundred  recent  books 
has  been  placed  on  exhibit  by  the  Mission¬ 
ary  Research  Library  of  New  York  City. 
The  books  are  classified  broadly,  and,  be¬ 
sides  mission  countries,  touch  upon  such 
matters  as  race  relations,  Christian  inter¬ 
nationalism,  etc.  A  Bibliography,  to  be 
used  as  a  reference  guide  to  the  collection, 
has  been  printed  and  may  be  obtained  either 
in  the  exhibit  room  or  in  the  book-store. 
The  exhibit  is  located  in  Parlor  M,  to 
the  left  of  the  main  entrance,  on  the  Audi¬ 
torium  level.  It  will  be  open  all  day  and 
evening,  except  during  the  general  sessions, 
when  it  will  be  closed  out  of  courtesy  to 
the  speakers.  Miss  Hering,  the  librarian 
in  charge,  will  be  glad  to  answer  any  in¬ 
quiries  in  regard  to  bibliographies,  other 
reference  books  not  on  exhibit  and  trust¬ 
worthy  reading  courses.  Come  in  and  see 
for  yourself  some  of  the  books  which  are 
being  printed  on  the  topics  in  which  you  are 
interested. 


The  Book  Stoire 

The  Book  Store  is  located  to  the  right 
of  the  main  entrance  to  the  Auditorium. 
In  order  to  secure  the  highest  quality  in 


DAILY  BULLETIN  for  THURSDAY 


Page  3 


this  department  only  one  hundred  care¬ 
fully  selected  volumes  are  presented.  The 
best  books  in  the  field  of  the  Christian 
World  Enterprise  are  here  and  every  dele¬ 
gate  should  pay  an  early  visit  and  get  ac¬ 
quainted  with  this  literature. 

The  feature  of  the  book  exhibit  is  the 
new  series  “Christian  Voices  Around  the 
World,”  just  off  the  press.  Of  this  series 
Bishop  Francis  T.  McConnell  writes : 

“It  is  altogether  the  best  piece  of  work 
of  the  kind  I  have  ever  seen.  The  books 
answer  just  the  kind  of  questions  that  are 
constantly  coming  up — often  to  the  great 
embarrassment  of  those  interested  in  mis¬ 
sionary  effort.  The  reading  of  the  books 
leaves  one  with  a  feeling  of  deep  seriousness 
— and  yet  with  a  larger  measure  of  hope¬ 
fulness  than  I  have  had  for  a  long  time. 
The  plan  was  evidently  conceived  with  a 
determination  to  face  actual  situations  in 
realistic  fashion  and  to  proceed  on  the  basis 
of  fact,  with  full  regard  for  native  opinion. 
I  trust  the  books  will  be  very  widely  cir¬ 
culated.” 

You  have  had  a  taste  of  good  things 
from  Dr.  Richard  Roberts  and  Dr.  Henry 
Hodgkin  today.  Don’t  you  want  to  explore 
their  minds  more  fully?  Dr.  Roberts  is  the 
author  of  four  books  which  are  in  the  book 
exhibit — “The  Gospel  at  Corinth,”  “The 
Ascending  Life,”  “The  New  Man  and  the 
Divine  Society,”  and  “The  Untried  Door.” 
Dr.  Hodgkin  is  the  author  of  many  vol¬ 
umes.  Two -of  his  books,  “The  Way  of 
the  Good  Physician”  on  medical  missions, 
and  “The  Way  of  Jesus” — a  Bible  discus¬ 
sion  book,  can  be  secured  through  the  Book 
Store.  Dr.  Hodgkin  is  revising  his  “China 
in  the  Family  of  the  Nations”  and  it  will 
be  issued  in  the  spring  by  Doubleday,  Doran 
&  Co. 

Stationery  is  on  sale  at  the  Book  Store.

Colloquia 

A  full  statement  of  the  purpose  and  char¬ 
acter  of  the  colloquia  groups  is  given  on 
pages  5-9  in  the  Delegate’s  Handbook.  This 
should  be  read  by  every  delegate.  It  will 
prevent  inconvenience  and  delay  in  assem¬ 
bling  for  colloquia  sessions,  if  delegates 
will  familiarize  themselves  with  their  re¬ 
spective  places  of  meeting  in  advance.  The 
instructions  on  pages  8  and  9  are  explicit. 
Do  be  prompt  in  attendance.  Make  notes 
of  questions  raised  or  issues  discussed.  Re¬ 
gard  these  colloquia  as  examples  of  what 
might  be  reproduced  on  your  campus  this 
winter.  Be  prepared  to  throw  in  your  ques¬ 
tions  early  and  to  discuss  fearlessly  every 
issue  raised  by  the  group  regardless  of 
where  it  leads  you.  If  it  is  facts  you  need, 
let  the  counsellors  serve  you,  if  they  can. 

For  Thurdsay  morning  the  character  and 
extent  of  the  subject  matter  which  might 
well  come  within  the  range  of  our  interests 
is  suggested  by  the  following:  “Points  of 
Weakness  and  Strength  in  the  Foreign  Mis¬ 
sionary  Program  of  the  Western  Church” — 
new  purposes,  new  frontiers,  new  attitudes, 
new  methods,  new  programs  as  demanded 
by  changing  situations  and  changing  life 
and  thought  all  over  the  world. 

A  few  suggested  questions: 

1.  Suppose  you  were  rechristening  the 


Page  4 


DAILY  BULLETIN  for  THURSDAY 


foreign  missionary  movement  what 
would  you  name  it?  What  motive  and 
aims  would  you  accept  for  it?  How 
would  its  methods  and  program  vary 
from  those  current  today? 

2.  What  are  some  of  the  embarrassing 
situations  under  which  we  have  asked 
the  missionary  to  labour? 

3.  Can  we  dissociate  the  missionary 
movement  from  “the  general  movement 
of  the  West  to  force  its  way  into 
China?  If  so,  how? 

4.  Have  we  any  right  to  urge  sDur  re¬ 
ligion  on  China,  in  view  of  (a)  the 
unchristian  nature  of  much  of  our  own 
civilization,  (b)  the  value  of  China’s 
own  religions,  (c)  the  present  treaty 
relations  which  are  so  much  criticized 
and  (d)  the  divisions  and  other  un¬ 
christian  things  within  the  Church  it¬ 
self  ? 


Sectional  Meetings — 2  ;30  to  4  ;30 

A  statement  covering  these  meetings  will 
be  found  on  pages  11-12  of  the  Delegate’s

Thursday  Afternoon  Features 

The  following  program  has  been  planned 
for  Thursday  afternoon  and  is  open  to  all 
Convention  delegates.  The  regular  tickets 
received  in  exchange  for  credentials  will  be 
used  for  admission. 

“THE  COLOR  LINE,”  written  and 
staged  by  Irene  Taylor  MacNair,  of  the 
University  of  Chicago,  will  be  presented  at 
3 :45  in  the  Crystal  Room.

Haven,  Connecticut,  will  be  given  at  3 :45 
in  the  Auditorium. 

From  4:30  to  6:00,  tea  will  be  served 


in  the  Colonial  Parlors,  and  it  is  hoped  that 
many  will  avail  themselves  of  this  oppor¬ 
tunity  for  informal  contacts.  Students  of 
many  nationalities  will  serve  as  hosts  and 
hostesses,  in  addition  to  a  group  of  Detroit 
women  who  will  provide  the  refreshments. 
At  this  time  a  double  quartette  of  Negro 
singers  will  provide  special  music  including 
a  selection  of  Spirituals. 

From  4:30  to  6:00,  in  the  Crystal  Room, 
Miss  Edna  Geister  will  take  relays  of  stu¬ 
dent  delegates  interested  in  learning  new 
methods  of  social  recreation.  Miss  Geister’s 
fame  as  a  recreation  leader  is  international, 
for  she  has  lectured  and  given  demonstra¬ 
tions  in  many  different  countries.  New  ideas, 
good  exercise  and  fun  galore  are  guaran¬ 
teed.  Delegates  wishing  to  play  together 
before  or  after  luncheon  or  dinner  can  make 
appointments  with  Miss  Geister  in  Parlor 
“B.” 


Reception 

A  reception  to  which  all  delegates  are  in¬ 
vited  will  be  held  at  the  St.  Antoine  St. 
branch  of  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  (colored)  on 
Thursday  night  from  9 :30  to  10 :30  o’clock. 

Brief  messages  will  be  given  by  Dr. 
Hodgkin  and  nationals  of  China,  Japan, 
India  and  other  countries. 

To  reach  the  building,  go  south  on  Wood¬ 
ward  to  Elizabeth  Ave.,  then  four  blocks 
east  to  the  Y.  M.  C.  A. 


Daily  Meditation  ^ 

(Dr.  Hodgkin  has  generously  consented 
to  prepare  a  brief  meditation  for  use  in  our 
private  morning  devotions.  One  will  be 
printed  each  evening  for  the  following 
morning.) 

Read  I  Cor,  12:12-21.  Gal.  6:1-5. 

We  need  one  another  because  God  speaks 
to  each  one  in  the  way  he  can  best  under¬ 
stand  and  all  the  truth  is  not  with  any  of 
us.  There  may  be  presentations  of  truth 
in  this  Convention  that  awaken  annoyance, 
criticism,  antagonism  in  us.  May  we  seek 
for  the  spirit  that  will  enable  us  to  see  and 
concentrate  on  whatever  is  of  value  in 
that  which  each  brings,  checking  ourselves 
as  to  whether  our  reaction  against  any  par¬ 
ticular  thing  is  due  to  prejudice,  unwilling-  1 
ness  to  accept  truth,  fear  of  consequences. 

What  does  it  mean  for  me  in  these  days 
that  I  am  bound  in  one  body  with  many  t 
who  think  and  act  so  differently  from  my¬ 
self  ?  John  Woolman  had  the  vision  of 
“human  beings  in  as  great  misery  as  they 
could  be  in  and  live”  and  he  saw  that  “I 
must  no  longer  consider  myself  to  be  a 
distinct  and  separate  human  being.”  How 
do  you  reconcile  the  second  and  fifth  verses 
in  the  second  selection  above?

for  FRIDAY 

Second  Issue  Detroit^  Michigan,  December  29th,  1927 


The  Daily  Bulletin 

All  notices  for  the  DAILY  BULLE¬ 
TIN  should  be  signed  with  the  name  and 
address  of  the  sender.  The  hours  of  Mr. 
Huckabee  through  whom  all  notices  of 
meetings  must  be  cleared  have  been 
changed.  He  will  be  at  his  desk  outside 
Parlor  F  from  8:30  to  9:00  A.  M.  and 
from  6:00  to  7:30  P.  M. 

Daily  Meditation 

Read  Psalm  VIII  and  Matthew  VI,  28-34. 

Is  there  any  significance  in  the  fact  that 
the  Psalmist  bids  us  consider  the  im¬ 
measurably  great,  while  Jesus  calls  us  to 
consider  the  small  and  often  overlooked — 
lilies,  ravens,  sparrows,  children?  Let  us 
take  time  to  think  into  the  glory  of  the 
commonplace — God  revealed  as  a  Father 
in  the  little  things.  James  Martineau 
says:  “There  are  moments  when  the 
beauty  of  the  Universe  looks  at  us  with 
a  meaning  quite  divine.  ...  or  the 
eye  of  appealing  misery  burns  into  the 
place  of  pity  in  our  souls,  and  we  know 
it  to  be  His  sympathy  as  well  as  ours: 
or  a  new  insight  of  duty  opens  a  path 
which  He  alone  could  show.  In  these  in¬ 
stances  we  strain  no  ingenuity  to  dis¬ 
cover  Him;  it  is  He  who  comes  to  us 
and  finds  us;  His  presence  rises  of  itself, 
and  the  revelation  is  spontaneous.  Our 
sole  concern  is  to  accept  it,,  to  revere  it, 
to  follow  it,  to  live  it.”

1.  What  is  the  difference  between  re¬ 
ligious  education  and  propaganda?

with  others,  have  we  the  right  to 
share  the  theological  interpretations 
elaborated  in  western  civilization? 

3.  Has  western  civilization  proven  itself 
worthy  to  share  the  gospel  of  love 
with  the  world? 

4.  How  much  must  the  giver  be  willing 
to  receive  in  a  true  sharing  process? 

On  the  Relation  of  Christ  to  Life’s  Ulti¬ 
mate  Needs  and  Concerns: 

1.  Ultimate  human  needs  and  concerns 
defined. 

2.  Truth  in  other  religions  and  the  ef¬ 
fect  of  the  recognition  of  this  on  the 
Christian  message  and  the  world 
Christian  movement. 

3.  The  exportation  of  Western  creeds 
and  ecclesiastical  organizations.

social  emphasis  in  our  missionary 
message  and  program. 

5.  Unethical  methods  of  evangelism.

Answering  of  Questions 

All  questions  raised  on  Wednesday  eve¬ 
ning,  together  with  many  more  which 
have  been  received  later,  have  been  placed 
in  the  hands  of  Colloquia  Leaders,  who 
are  prepared  to  give  right  of  way  each 
day  to  as  many  of  these  questions  as 
logically  fall  within  the  day’s  area  of  dis¬ 
cussion  and  are  of  sufficient  interest  to 
the  whole  group  to  justify  this  considera¬ 
tion. 

Some  of  the  questions  will  also  be  put 
in  the  hands  of  speakers,  to  deal  with 
from  the  platform.  Others  specifically 
calling  for  information,  and  capable  of 
being  answered  briefly,  will  be  referred 
to  Colloquia  Leaders  who  have  been 
urged  to  deal  with  this  type  of  question 
either  themselves  or  with  the  help  of  their 
counsellors. 


The  Business  Committee  will  do  all  it 
can  to  see  that  all  questions  raised  receive 
due  consideration  at  one  time  or  another. 
If  any  delegate  feels  that  his  questions 
are  not  being  adequately  answered,  he 
should  communicate  this  fact  to  some 
member  of  the  Business  Committee  or  to 
your  Colloquium  Leader.  Obviously,  the 
natural  place  for  a  thorough  considera¬ 
tion  of  any  question  raised  is  in  your  Col¬ 
loquium. 

Any  suggestion  in  the  interest  of  fur¬ 
thering  the  educational  processes  of  this 
Convention  will  be  heartily  welcomed  by 
the  Colloquia  leaders,  and  will  be  passed 
on  to  them  in  written  form,  if  addressed 
to  Chairman,  Colloquia  Groups,  Hotel 
Statler,  Room  758. 

A  Worthwhile  Book 

Do  you  know  Dr.  Buck’s  new  book, 
“Our  Asiatic  Christ?”  It  deals  with  “the 
only  Oriental  that  the  Occident  has  ad¬ 
mired  with  an  admiration  that  has  become 
worship”  and  the  “only  name  the  West 
has  carried  into  the  East,  which  the  East 
has  received  and  praised  and  loved  with 
sincerity  and  without  qualification.”  It 
tells  of  the  author’s  quest  through  con¬ 
ferences  and  conversations  for  India’s 
answer,  confused  at  times,  yet  ever  grow¬ 
ing  clearer,  to  that  mighty  question, 
“What  think  ye  of  Christ?”  How  much 
truth  lies  back  of  the  conviction  expressed 
by  those  Hindu  students  of  a  large  uni¬ 
versity  in  Eastern  India  who  declared 
“Christ  was  born  in  Asia  and  was  an 
Asiatic.  He  belongs  to  us.  We  shall  in¬ 
terpret  him?”  What  will  their  interpre¬ 
tation  mean  to  us?  Will  it  cause  us  to 
be  offended  in  Him,  or  will  it  pull  the 
scales  from  off  our  eyes  and  help  us  all 
to  see,  not  “our”  Christ,  nor  even  the 
“Asiatic”  Christ,  but  the  “Christ  of  all 
the  centuries  and  of  all  the  continents?” 

You  cannot  afford  to  miss  the  challenge 
of  “Our  Asiatic  Christ.”  Come  to  the 
Library  Exhibit — look  at  the  book — read 
bits  of  it — then  study  it  for  its  inspira¬ 
tion  and  the  insight  it  gives  you  into  the 
Living  Christ. 

To  Whom  It  May  Concern 

The  suggestion  comes  from  a  student 
“that  all  alumni  reunions  be  held  outside 
convention  sessions.  To  put  it  plainly, 
the  older  birds  are  of  the  same  feather 
as  the  younger  present,  and  the  students 
invite  their  elders  to  sit  among  them  in¬ 
stead  of  in  sanhedrin.”

for  SATURDAY 

Third  Issue  Detroit,  Michigan,  December  30th,  1927 


Daily  Meditation 

Read  Isa:  VI.  1-8  and  Acts  XXVI  12-20. 

These  passages  recall  the  vital  experiences 
of  two  great  men,  each  of  whom  left  a 
lasting  mark  on  his  generation.  In  these 
days  it  is  scarcely  possible  that  we  shall  not 
hear  some  voice  which  we  shall  recognize  as 
divine.  Perhaps  we  have  already  heard  such. 
The  question  of  supreme  importance  is : 
“How  shall  I  respond  to  it?’’  How  did 
these  men  respond?  What  issues  hung  up¬ 
on  the  response?  The  Voice  does  not  call 
us  to  things  we  know  we  can  do  any  more 
than  it  called  Isaiah  or  Paul  to  such.  “Do 
not  pray  for  easy  tasks  but  pray  to  be  bet¬ 
ter  men.  Pray  not  for  tasks  equal  to  your 
powers  but  for  powers  equal  to  your  tasks.” 
“Believe  in  the  future,  who  but  you  can? 
Believe  in  the  impossible,  for  it  waits  the 
help  of  your  hands  to  become  the  inevitable.” 

Mail  and  Telegrams 

It  is  important  that  every  delegate  call 
at  the  Post  Office  for  mail  and  telegrams 
before  leaving  Detroit. 

Do  not  fail  to  leave  your  forwarding  ad¬ 
dress. 

The  Western  Union  telegraph  offices  will 
be  kept  open  from  8:00  a.  m.  to  10:00  p. 
m.  until  the  close  of  the  Convention. 

Lost  and  Found 

Apparently  some  articles  lost  in  the  build¬ 
ing,  including  a  fountain  pen  and  a  railroad 
ticket,  have  not  yet  been  found  by  anyone, 
and  some  found  articles  have  not  yet  been 
lost.  Do  not  forget  that  the  Bureau  is  for 
both  lost  and  found  articles.  It  is  in  Parlor 
F.

9 :00  to  9 :15 — Evening  Worship  Period. 

Colloquia 

Some  suggested  subjects  for  Saturday 
Colloquia  which  will  probably  be  opened  up 
by  the  platform  addresses  immediately  pre¬ 
ceding  are  as  follows : 

1.  The  character  and  amount  of  Christian 
co-operation  from  the  West.  Particular 
attention  will  probably  be  given  to  the  con¬ 
ditions  of  co-operation,  as  laid  down  by 
those  to  whom  we  go  (younger  Churches), 
by  those  who  send  us  (older  Churches  in 
the  West). 

2.  The  relation  of  foreign  missions  to 
non-Christian  forces  in  our  Western  life. 
Why  should  we,  pagan  Canada  and  United 
States,  send  Christian  missionaries  ?  How 
can  we  make  our  total  impact  on  the  world 
more  Christian?  What  can  students  do? 
Have  we  any  right  to  go  out  as  mission¬ 
aries,  before  doing  something  by  way  of 
cleaning  house  here  at  home  and  winning 
fellow  students  to  give  their  lives  to  the 
Christian  adventure? 

3.  The  relation  of  non-Church  and  non¬ 
religious  agencies  of  human  betterment  now 
operating  in  the  international  field  to  the 
foreign  missionary  enterprise. 

Saturday  Afternoon 

The  Business  Committee  has  valiantly  re¬ 
sisted  all  attacks  by  zealous  groups  eager 
for  extra  meetings  and  proclaim  Saturday 
afternoon  absolutely  free  for  rest  and  recrea¬ 
tion.  This  is  felt  to  be  for  the  best  inter¬ 
ests  of  the  Convention  as  a  whole  and  dele¬ 
gates  are  urged  to  observe  the  period,  as 
suggested,  that  they  may  be  spared  the  dis¬ 
comfort  of  brain  fag.

DAILY  BULLETIN  for  SATURDAY 


Afternoon  Features 

There  will  be  no  plays  on  Saturday  and 
it  is  hoped  that  all  delegates  will  find  their 
way  to  points  of  interest  in  the  City,  or  use 
this  free  period  for  rest  and  recreation. 

From  4:30  to  6:00  tea  will  be  served  in 
the  Colonial  Parlors  of  the  Masonic  Temple. 
All  foreign  students  are  especially  urged  to 
be  present  as  hosts  and  hostesses  for  this 
international  social  hour. 

The  occasion  will  also  serve  as  an  oppor¬ 
tunity  for  all  delegates  to  meet  the  group 
of  Detroit  women  who  have  so  graciously 
provided  decorations,  refreshments  and  much 
of  their  time  to  make  possible  this  informal 
get-together. 

From  4:00  to  6:00  there  will  be  a  pro¬ 
gram  of  organ  music  in  the  Scottish  Rite 
Cathedral,  a  very  beautiful  hall  in  this  build¬ 
ing,  which  is  being  contributed  by  the  Ma¬ 
sonic  Temple  Association  for  our  use  at 
this  time. 


Suggestions  for  Saturday  Afternoon

DAILY  BULLETIN  for  SATURDAY 


What  Do  You  Know? 

Dr.  Hodgkin  says  good-will  may  be  dan¬ 
gerous — if  it  is  uninformed  and  nerveless. 
But  why  be  ignorant?  Why  not  know  some, 
at  least,  of  the  facts  about  China?  Sit 
down  for  a  few  minutes  with  Dr.  Hodgkin’s 
own  book — China  and  the  Nations — read 
his  striking  survey  of  the  historical  back¬ 
ground  of  China’s  present  relations  with  the 
West;  follow  his  sympathetic  interpretations 
of  the  various  forces  at  work  there  and  re¬ 
sulting  in  the  five  great  revolutions  now 
in  progress.  Why  not  look  squarely  at  the 
facts  there  stated — and  ponder  their  impli¬ 
cations  ? 

Or,  if  you  prefer,  take  up  his  Way  of 
the  Good  Physician,  with  its  forceful,  quiet 
presentations  of  the  ministry  to  the  Fellow¬ 
ship  of  Pain.  It  is  a  tremendous  need  he 
there  portrays,  and  alongside  of  the  need 
he  places  some  thrilling  facts  of  the  great 
relief  work  which  is  being,  carried  on  in 
the  name  of  Christ. 

Dr.  Hodgkin  has  given  us  fine  inspiration 
through  his  addresses ;  why  not  deepen  and 
enrich  this  inspiration  by  reading  his  books? 
A  new  edition  of  China  in  the  Family  of 
Nations  is  being  prepared  and  it  is  hoped 
that  it  will  be  out  this  Spring;  but  the  pres¬ 
ent  edition  is  of  abiding  value  for  us. 

While  hunting  for  facts,  don’t  fail  to  look 
at  Paton’s  pamphlet  on  “Christianity  and  the 
Growth  of  Industrialism  in  Asia  and  Africa”  ; 
or  the  important  source  book  on  Women  in 
Industry  in  the  Orient. 

All  of  these  books  are  in  the  Library  Ex¬ 
hibit.  If  you  cannot  find  them,  ask  Miss 
Hering  to  help  you.  They  may  be  pur¬ 
chased  or  ordered  at  the  Book  Exhibit. 

Official  Convention  Report 

The  explanation  of  the  young  lady  typing 
silently  on  the  stage  on  an  endless  paper  rib¬ 
bon  is  that  the  Convention  authorities  are 
thereby  making  possible  an  official  and  ade¬ 
quate  report  of  the  Convention.  The  volume 
will  contain  all  principal  addresses  delivered 
at  the  Convention,  condensed  reports  of  Col- 
loquia  discussions,  description  of  afternoon 


features  and  other  important  records  of  the 
Convention,  It  will  also  furnish  an  inval¬ 
uable  collection  of  material  for  reference 
purposes.  When  published  the  price  will  be 
$2.50  postpaid.  Orders  placed  at  the  Con¬ 
vention  will  be  filled  at  $2.00  per  copy  post¬ 
paid. 

Keep  the  Score  by  Innings 

If  the  leaders  of  this  Convention  have  had 
anything  to  say  of  interest,  why  not  con¬ 
tinue  contact  with  them?  If  the  problems 
and  areas  of  thought  here  suggested  are  im¬ 
portant,  why  not  continue  digging  into 
them? 

You  can  do  these  two  things  in  a  number 
of  ways,  but  we  suggest  as  one  of  the 
most  valuable — the  use  of  the  following 
magazines : 

The  Student  Volunteer  Movement  Bul¬ 
letin —  (Monthly,  $1.00  per  year.),  speaks 
for  itself  as  the  organ  of  the  Volunteer 
Movement  in  North  America. 

The  Intercollegian — (Monthly,  $1.00 
per  year),  the  magazine  of  the  Student 
Christian  Movement  in  the  United  States. 

The  Canadian  Student — (Monthly,  $1.00 
per  year).  The  journal  of  the  Student 
Christian  Movement  in  Canada. 

The  Student  World — (Quarterly,  $1.00 
per  year.)  The  organ  of  the  World  Stu¬ 
dent  Christian  Federation. 

The  Missionary  Review  of  the  World 

—  (Monthly,  $2.50  per  year).  The  out¬ 
standing  news  magazine  of  Missions. 

The  International  Review  of  Missions 

—  (Quarterly,  $2.50  per  year.)  The  “Hib- 
bert  Journal”  of  missionary  publications. 
The  most  influential  missionary  periodi¬ 
cal  dealing  with  the  science  of  missions. 
Each  issue  contains  able  and  scholarly 
presentations  of  the  modern  missionary 
enterprise  in  its  broad  relationships.  It 
is  a  magazine  to  keep  on  file  as  well  as 
read. 

At  an  early  session  material  about  these 
will  be  distributed.  Be  sure  to  look  at  copies 
of  them  all  in  the  Book  Exhibit.  Orders 
may  be  left  there. 


iDail^  bulletin 

for  SUNDAY 

Fourth  Issue  Detroit,  Michigan,  December  31st,  1927 


To  delegates,  leaders  and  speakers  and  to 
Detroit  friends  of  the  Convention — the 
DAILY  BULLETIN  extends  New  Year’s 
Greetings. 

Daily  Meditation 

Read  I  John  2:9-12;  3:13-18;  4:15-21. 

I  We  have  been  stirred  by  the  appeal  of 
our  friends  from  other  lands,  by  the  sins 
of  our  western  civilization,  by  calls  for 
service  sometime  in  the  future.  At  the  be¬ 
ginning  of  this  last  day,  may  we  come  face 
to  face  with  the  immediate  application  of 
I  all  this  in  our  personal  lives,  our  homes,  the 
college  campus.  There  is  a  telephone  card 
on  my  desk  with  the  alluring  legend,  “Long 
distance  at  low  cost.”  To  many,  I  fear  the 
missionary  appeal  has  figured  out  in  those 
terms.  How  easy  to  love  at  long  distance 
and  how  low  the  cost  of  an  occasional  sub¬ 
scription  !  What  does  short- distance  love 
mean  to  me,  and  can  I  pay  the  high  cost 
of  it  in  the  little  daily  things?  Can  I  hon¬ 
estly  talk  about  loving  either  my  God  or  my 
brother  whom  I  have  not  seen,  if  I  am 
treating  the  brother  I  do  see  with  contempt 
or  indifference  ?  May  we  try  to  be  very 
frank  with  ourselves  in  this  closing  period 
and  not  be  satisfied  with  emotions  that  make 
us  feel  good  without  leading  us  out  quickly 
into  expression. 

Of  Climactic  Importance 

Particular  attention  is  directed  to  the 
meeting  called  for  Sunday  afternoon  at 
five  o’clock.  Visions  and  purposes  have 
been  coming  to  us  and  deepening  within  us. 
An  hour’s  conference  together  on  how  some 
of  these  ideals  may  be  translated  into  actu¬ 
alities  in  college  and  community  life  should 
be  very  helpful.  Enthusiasms  are  great — 
but  greater  still  is  performance.  As  St. 
Paul  has  it,  “Now  therefore  perform  the 
doing  of  it.”

Colloquia 

The  range  of  interest  for  Sunday’s  Col¬ 
loquia,  provided  your  group  elects  to  con¬ 
sider  the  subjects  opened  up  in  preceding 
platform  addresses,  might  be  delimited  as 
follows : 

1.  The  task  of  this  generation,  and  my 
place  in  realizing  God’s  purpose  for 
the  world. 


Page  2 


DAILY  BULLETIN  for  SUNDAY 


2.  The  place  of  the  Bible  and  prayer: 
in  life’s  decisions;  in  one’s  life  work; 
and  in  bringing  in  the  universal  king¬ 
dom  of  love. 

3.  Making  Christ  known  a  joint  respon¬ 
sibility  the  world  around. 

Some  of  the  questions  which  naturally 
emerge  from  Saturday  evening’s  addresses 
are : 

1.  In  determining  the  choice  of  one’s 
life-work,  what  relative  weight  should 
be  given  to  the  needs  of  the  world 
and  to  one’s  own  interests  and  abil¬ 
ities  ? 

2.  How  true  is  it  that  it  makes  no  dif¬ 
ference  what  a  person  does ;  it  is  what 
a  person  is  that  counts? 

3.  Can  one  expect  a  personal  call  to 
one’s  life-work?  If  so,  how  is  one 
to  be  sure  of  it?  How  is  one  to  ex¬ 
pect  that  call  to  come? 

4.  Can’t  a  person  do  as  much  in  busi¬ 
ness  as  in  so-called  “Christian” 


work  ?  As  much  at  home  in  non- 
Christian  America  as  in  a  foreign 
land  ?

lor  B  Sunday  at  12 :30,  immediately  after

The  Cai!  to  Serve 

“Only  those  can  serve  who  really  love,” 
says  Dr.  Holland,  and  it  is  because  he  loves 
her  that  he  has  been  able  to  interpret  the 
heart  of  India  to  the  modern  world.  He 
calls  his  book  The  Indian  Outlook,  with

the  significant  sub-title,  “A  Study  in  the 
Way  of  Service.”  Therein  he  gives  us  of 
the  West  not  only  a  vision  of  the  essential 
India,  that  “spiritual  mother  of  one-fourth 
of  the  human  race,”  with  its  wonderful 
literature  and  its  magnificent  art;  not  only 
a  keen  appreciation  of  that  great  prophet, 
whose  “failure  was  not  so  much  the  failure 
of  Mr.  Gandhi  as  of  you  and  me  and  the 
rest  of  ordinary  humanity.”  He  gives  us 
also  a  sane  and  thoughtful  exposition  of 
England’s  work  and  aspirations  for  India, 
and,  even  more  important,  of  India’s  work 
and  aspirations  for  herself.  To  Christians 
of  both  East  and  West  he  presses  home  the 
questions :  What  is  the  real  position  of  the 
Church  in  India?  What  should  its  position 
be  ?  If  you  would  experience  a  thoroughly 


sobering  inspiration,  read  carefully  the  last 
chapter,  on  “The  Call  of  India.”  It  is 
worth  the  few  minutes  it  will  take  out  of 
your  twenty-four  hours. 

And  while  paying  tribute  to  that  country 
of  an  old  and  rich  heritage,  don’t  forget 
that  great  continent  of  a  more  primitive 
people.  Be  sure  to  look  at  Roome’s  new 
book,  Can  Africa  Be  Won?  And  the  one 
by  that  fine  Canadian,  John  T.  Tucker,  with 
the  picturesque  title.  Drums  in  the  Dark¬ 
ness. 

They  can  all  be  seen  in  the  Library  Ex¬ 
hibit.  And  remember :  any  book  in  the 
Exhibit  may  be  ordered  either  there  or  in 
the  book  store. 


Best  Wishes  for 
A  Happy  New  Year  to  all 
the  Delegates
